故事发生在1692年的马萨诸塞州，公主在一个地处偏远的小镇之中，公主生活着一群虔诚又愚昧的人们。女孩阿比盖尔（薇诺娜·瑞德 Winona Ryder 饰）是牧师的侄女，因此在镇上享有很高的声誉，凡是她说的话人们都信，凡是她做的事人们都赞成。凭借着自己的“特权”，阿比盖尔将数十名她看不惯的女子以“女巫”之名送上了绞刑架，这其中就有约翰（丹尼尔·戴-刘易斯 Daniel Day Lewis 饰）的妻子伊莉莎贝斯（琼·艾伦 Joan Allen 饰）。约翰一直都将阿比盖尔的狼子野心看在眼里，但由于两人之间的情人关系，他只得保持缄默，直到阿比盖尔将魔爪伸向了伊莉莎贝斯，约翰才明白事态的严重性。约翰向法官告发了阿比盖尔的罪行，然而，却没有人相信他的“胡言乱语”。

回复 :This is an unusual film of exceptional values--75 minutes long in color, with hardly any spoken dialogs. I saw this Iranian film in Farsi without English subtitles at the Early Iranian cinema retrospective on-going International Film Festival of Kerala, India. That I was watching a print without subtitles did not make a difference as there were very few lines of spoken dialogs.This is a very accessible film for any audience to enjoy--its story and values are not merely Iranian, it's universal.The film is set in rural Iran that had not tasted petro-dollar prosperity. The setting is on fringes of desert land, where water is scarce, rainfall scanty and hardly any blade of grass is green. Add to it wind and dust that buffets and whips man and animal and you can imagine plight of the people who live on the fringes of society.The film is moving tale of a young teenager returning to his village with a goat--only to find his family and villagers have moved on to escape natures vagaries and that one old man remains. He gives the goat to him and goes in search of his family. Water is scarce and well water it treated with reverence and never wasted.
回复 :A true story of a family and town's effort to save a beloved and heroic dog named Semper Fi. The father, a Captain in the US Marines and his homemaker wife, contend with the not so earth shattering problems of their twin, fifteen year old daughter and son as well as the antics of their precocious six year old daughter. Their lives tumble along, as most families do, until they must face the grave diagnosis of their faithfully and very loved Golden Retriever, Semper Fi. The family cannot afford the expensive surgery the dog needs. The children jump into action with a plan, spear headed by the fifteen year old daughter. They plan a community yard sale, donating all of their most prized possessions. The family's grumpy neighbor plays an unlikely and unexpected part in the ultimate success of the fund raising. Before Semper goes in for his surgery, he displays a heroic act that almost ends his life. The story unfolds during the holiday season.
